Gone wild

~EVERETT~An hour later, we all gathered in the estate's grand, high-ceilinged library. Outside, a violent rainstorm beat frantically against the tall glass windows, casting dark, watery shadows across the room.Knox was already standing near the massive mahogany desk in the center of the room. He was dressed in a dark velvet tunic, his sharp jaw tightly clenched, his golden Alpha eyes scanning everyone who walked through the heavy wooden door with intense, hostile paranoia. Lewis stood glued directly to his side, their fingers firmly intertwined.The moment my I walked into the library, Knox's eyes instantly snapped over to me.I saw his dark eyebrows contract in an immediate, painful grimace as a micro-migraine stabbed through his skull. He let out a low sneer, violently pulling Lewis closer to his hip, using Lewis's body as a barrier between himself and me, staring at me as if I were a venomous snake that had slid into the room.The sight made my heart bleed fresh blood, but I for

Please just look at me

~EVERETT~Knox lowered his head, his face inches from mine. I could smell the sharp scent of ash, rain, and blood on his skin. I could feel his scorching, furious breath beating against my cheeks.With his right hand, Knox reached down to his leather belt and pulled out a long, gleaming silver dagger.SCHWING!The polished steel caught the dim light of the chandeliers. With ruthless, lethal precision, Knox pressed the cold, razor-sharp tip of the dagger directly against my exposed throat!The blade bit into my skin. A single, warm drop of crimson blood spilled from my neck, sliding slowly down my collarbone."EVERETT!" my mother screamed in utter terror, trying to rush forward, but my father who was in the shadows wrapped his arms tightly around her, both of them shaking violently in agony."Don't move! Nobody fucking move!" Knox growled, his knuckles white as he gripped the hilt of the dagger, pressing the sharp edge slightly deeper into my throat. "I will cut his head off right now!

An honest truth

~EVERETT~Ten agonizing minutes passed in heavy, suffocating silence. The only sound echoing through the grand library was the harsh, ragged sound of Knox panting on the velvet sofa, clutching a cold, damp towel that Lewis was desperately pressing against his forehead.Lord Silas stepped forward slowly, his boots clicking against the floorboards, sliding his broadsword back into its leather scabbard. He stopped a few feet from the sofa, looking down at his trembling nephew."Knox," Silas said, his deep voice firm and echoing with undeniable command. "Can you hear my voice?"Knox groaned, keeping his eyes shut tight, his breathing slowly beginning to stabilize. "Yes..." he gritted out through tightly clenched teeth."We need to finish this conversation, Knox," Silas stated clearly. "But before we say another word, you are going to give me your solemn vow as an Alpha that you will not lash out again. If you lay a hand on anyone in this room, I will have the guards bind you in silver ch

Living in the past

✦EVERETT✦My father drew a deep, heavy breath. He pulled out a heavy oak chair from the long table and sat down, resting his calloused hands on his knees."A little over two decades ago," my father began, his voice taking on a distant, haunting tone, "I was just newly twenty years old. Your sister, Elara, was eighteen, and you, Knox, were two."Knox frowned slightly, listening intently despite himself."It was a brief time of peace," my father explained softly. "The High Council had temporarily opened the territorial borders, allowing young wolves from different packs to travel and train together. I traveled to your family's senior estate to train in their famous combat arenas. That was where I met Elara for the first time."A gentle, bittersweet smile touched my father's lips for a fraction of a second at the fleeting memory of a long-lost youth."She was vibrant," my father whispered. "She was fierce, brilliant, strong, and beautiful. We trained together every single day. And despit

They are all lies

✦✦EVERETT✦✦"Elara stood over me in the dark," my father continued, his voice trembling with intense emotion. "She had a blade in her hand, and her eyes were filled with an ancient, unbearable pain. She told me she had snuck into our pack to say goodbye. She told me that next week, her clan would burn my home to ash, and she wanted to look at my face one last time before I died."A heavy, suffocating silence gripped the entire library. Nobody moved. Nobody dared to take a loud breath."And then, Elara heard a soft sound coming from the corner of the room," my father whispered, tears finally spilling over his weathered cheeks. "It was the sound of a little boy stirring in a little bed."My father looked directly at me, his dark eyes overflowing with immense love and deep sorrow."Elara walked slowly across the floorboards," my father said. "She looked down into the bed... and she saw two-year-old baby Everett lying there. He had chubby cheeks, bright brown eyes, and he smiled up at her

He still hates me

~EVERETT~"Because I know it's not bullshit, Knox," Silas spoke up, stepping into the center of the room with absolute authority.Knox glared at Silas. "You can't prove any of this! It happened twenty years ago! It's just his word against my parents!""I don't expect you to take his word for it, Knox," Silas declared coldly. "Which is why I used my full military authority as Commander to pull strings at the High Tribunal yesterday."Everyone in the room turned to look at Silas in surprise."What did you do, Silas?" Jax asked, stepping forward.Silas looked around the room, his dark eyes decisive. "I have summoned a rare Truth-Seer and Alchemist from the eastern sanctuaries. He possesses ancient, high-grade skills capable of peering directly into a person's soul and reading their memories with 100% absolute accuracy."My father gasped softly. My mother looked up, hope dawning in her eyes."The Truth-Seer will arrive at this estate tomorrow morning," Silas announced clearly. "He will pe

Truth seer

✦EVERETT✦The morning came with a heavy, icy fog that clung to the tall glass windows of the grand library. The air inside felt so thick and cold that every breath tasted like wet stone. We were all standing around the center of the room, holding our breath, waiting for something to break.In the middle of the floor, an old man in long, silver-threaded robes was drawing a massive circle. He was the Truth-Seer that Lord Silas had spent three days searching for. The old man held a piece of glowing white chalk in his thin, spotted hand, etching ancient runes around the ring."Before we begin, you must understand how this system works," the Truth-Seer rasped, his voice sounding like dry leaves scraping across a stone floor. He set a heavy, circular glass mirror onto a dark wooden pedestal in the middle of the circle. "A projection will appear above us. It might look like magic to your eyes, but it is not magic. This system was created through a rare skill… a delicate mix of science, tr

Clear my father's name

~EVERETT~Knox took a staggering step forward, letting go of Lewis’s hand completely. His face was ghostly pale, his eyes wide with shock and sheer denial. He looked at my dad, then at the dust on the floor, and finally spun around to glare at Lord Silas."No! This is a trick!" Knox roared, his voice trembling with furious emotion. "You brought a fake magician into this house! My parents told me Arthur killed her! My father held me by her grave and swore it to me on his life!""Your father believed a lie, Knox," Silas said quietly, taking a slow step toward his nephew. "Or he was lied to by the very people he trusted to protect his pack.""Then why didn't you stop him?!" Knox screamed, his Alpha aura flaring wildly, making the wooden beams in the ceiling groan under the pressure. "You are my uncle! You are the commander of the military! If you knew my father was wrong, why did you let me grow up hating this family?! Why did you let me spend my entire life preparing to butcher Arthur?

It does not work that way

~EVERETT~"As the Truth-Seer said in the beginning, this is only a projection of what your father believes happened," Silas explained gently. "For example, Arthur was not actually in the woods to see Elara die. He was in his tent. That image of her death is simply what his mind believes took place after she left. It is the truth in his mind, but memories and beliefs are tricky things."The Truth-Seer stepped forward, his old face grave. "Lord Silas is right. A projection like this can be forged. If a person believes a lie strongly enough, or if they train their mind to create false memories and false beliefs, the system will project those false images as truth."My jaw dropped as horror replaced my excitement. "Wait... so someone could fabricate this test?""Yes," the Truth-Seer nodded. "If this were shown to the High Council, the court would find a reason to throw the evidence away immediately. They would claim Arthur trained his mind to project false images to trick the court."A c

Do not trust anyone

~EVERETT~ Nicky slowly raised his head, his face wet with tears, his chest heaving with ragged sobs. "Why are you touching me? I betrayed you, Everett... I was weak. Lord Zeth threatened my family, and I turned into a coward, I put that dark powder in your cup... I'm a monster..." "You made a terrible mistake, Nicky," I said, keeping my voice steady and gentle. "You were terrified, and you were manipulated by powerful men who used your fear against you. But you are not a monster. You are my friend." Nicky shook his head frantically, fresh tears falling down his pale cheeks. "No! Don't be nice to me! I don't deserve your forgiveness, Everett! I really don't!" "Forgiveness isn't something you earn, Nicky," I told him softly, squeezing his shoulder through the bars. "It's something I choose to give so we don't both rot in hatred. I forgive you, Nicky. Truly. From the bottom of my heart." Nicky let out a loud, heartbroken wail, burying his face in his hands, crying so hard his en
